Derby County defender Andre Wisdom drives Porsche into thick mud

He may be Wisdom by name, but relying on satnav to find his home ground will not go down as one of Andre’s wisest decisions. The Derby County defender was forced to ­abandon his Porsche after being led down a woodland track into a muddy puddle.

The England Under-21 captain is still getting his bearings following his loan move from Liverpool two weeks ago. After stopping off at a shop to buy a drink ahead of Derby’s home game against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, Wisdom fell into trouble after putting his faith in tech­nology to find his way to Pride Park.

The 20-year-old made it to the match and seemed unfazed as Derby ran out 3-0 winners.

His Porsche Panamera Turbo was not so lucky. The muddy vehicle, worth £100,000, was discovered by a mountain-biker six miles from Pride Park on Saturday morning.

It was towed out of the mud by a Jeep Cherokee and was last seen later that evening being driven away in a plume of white smoke. A Derby County spokesman said: “Andre visited a local shop on the way to Saturday’s game against Sheffield Wednesday and, being unfamiliar to the area, he programmed the stadium’s postcode into his satnav. The route provided took him down a less than traditional road.
